This is an extended version of Exercise 3, where we'll now go in-depth into clay carving techniques and Kurinuki and look at how to make functional pieces

Here, I talk to you about the essence of this expressive technique, what it represents and how you can interpret it. We'll look at:

How to prep the clay (so important here)

Which tools you can use for carving

How we can use different tools for different textures, and treat the surface in different ways

And how to make teacups and bowls such as for miso, udon, ramen or matcha using this beautiful technique

Ana will show you how to make the bowl, step-by-step, then the cup – perfect for working alongside
